A four-year PhD studentship developing chemically engineered proximity-labelling probes as tuneable sensors of local cellular environments. The student will synthesise and characterise probe libraries, then evaluate them in living cells using biochemical assays, advanced fluorescence imaging and super-resolution microscopy, with selective proteomic analysis to map molecular networks.
